Pytest 9.0.3 official documentation pytest.MonkeyPatch class
💡 Result:
In pytest 9.0.3, the pytest.MonkeyPatch class is the underlying mechanism used by the monkeypatch fixture to safely modify classes, functions, dictionaries, environment variables, and sys.path during testing [1][2][3]. All modifications performed via this class are automatically undone after the test function or fixture that requested the patch has finished executing [1][4]. Key methods provided by pytest.MonkeyPatch include: - setattr(obj, name, value, raising=True): Sets an attribute on an object [4][3]. - delattr(obj, name, raising=True): Deletes an attribute from an object [4][3]. - setitem(mapping, name, value): Sets an item in a dictionary or mapping [4][3]. - delitem(obj, name, raising=True): Deletes an item from a mapping [4][3]. - setenv(name, value, prepend=None): Sets an environment variable [1][3]. - delenv(name, raising=True): Deletes an environment variable [1][3]. - syspath_prepend(path): Prepends a path to sys.path [1][3]. - chdir(path): Changes the current working directory [1][3]. - context: A context manager that can be used to handle patching manually when the monkeypatch fixture is not available [3][5]. While the monkeypatch fixture is the primary way to access this functionality in standard tests [3], pytest.MonkeyPatch can also be instantiated directly if necessary [3]. When used directly outside of the fixture, it is recommended to use MonkeyPatch.context() or call the undo() method explicitly to ensure modifications are reverted [3][5]. The raising parameter available in many of these methods determines whether a KeyError or AttributeError is raised if the target of the set or delete operation does not exist [1][3].

No actionable correctness, security, or integrity finding in the external diff. The denominator now represents all evaluated criteria and preserves the existing empty-criteria behavior. I performed static review only; contributor code and dependencies were not executed.

External static review: no blocking concern found in the current diff. I did not execute branch code, install dependencies, or run contributor-provided scripts. Residual risk: runtime behavior remains covered by the repository CI.

Caution A three-line fix that silently rescores every evaluation a customer has ever run, on their next SDK upgrade. The old expression divided passed criteria by failed criteria. So Both of those movements break something real. Anyone with a threshold, a CI gate or an alert on evaluation score has been sitting on numbers that were mostly above That is not an argument against merging. The old number was meaningless: every verdict with as many passes as failures collapsed onto a perfect score, so the span could not distinguish a healthy run from a half-broken one, which is the only thing it is for. It is an argument that this needs a release note that says scores will move and why, and probably not a silent patch bump.
What you are looking at, if the Python SDK is not your areaACME writes a scenario test: a simulated user talks to their agent, then a judge agent checks the transcript against a list of criteria. Each criterion either passes or fails. The SDK reports the result to LangWatch as an evaluation on a span, with a score. The score is meant to be "what fraction of the criteria passed". It was computed as passed divided by failed.

Scope is one expression. Nothing else is touched. For a fix from an outside contributor to a published package, that is the right size. Worth asking the author, or deciding internallyIs a zero-criteria judgment really a perfect score? The guard returns What does the release look like? The title is Does anything on the platform side have a stored threshold on this score? Alerts, monitors, saved views or trigger conditions built while the value could exceed The JavaScript SDK does not report an evaluation score at all. Only the Python path emits one, so there is no matching bug to fix and no divergence introduced here. Worth knowing the two SDKs report different things on this surface, which is a separate gap somebody may want tracked. Nobody here owns this PR by default. It is from an outside contributor, and it has been open since 14 August with only bot reviews on it. The assigned reviewer is the accountability, which is the point of the assignment. Evidence and files
Confirmed red on Note The invariant: a score is only useful if two different outcomes cannot produce the same number. The old expression violated that for every verdict with equal passes and failures. The fix is right, and the work left is telling people their numbers moved. |

One thing I should have put in the description: this changes the score value users see, not just the formula. Runs that reported above Also deliberate: a judgment with zero criteria still returns One question on process: as this is from a fork, the CI runs are waiting on a maintainer to approve them, so |

Why
The judgment score reported to LangWatch divides the passed criteria by the
failed count instead of the total, so a half-failing verdict gets the same
score as a flawless one.
Every verdict where passes equal failures —
(1,1),(2,2),(3,3)— collapsesonto a perfect 1.0, so the evaluation span can't be used to tell a healthy run
from a half-broken one.
The expression,
scenario_executor.py:1056-1061:What changed
passed + failed, notfailed. That matches thedenominator the package already uses for this same ratio elsewhere:
pytest_plugin.py:222-225printsPassed Criteria: n/totalwithtotal = len(passed_criteria) + len(failed_criteria). The span score and theterminal report now agree.
if ... failed_criteria else 1.0guard rather thanadding a separate zero-check. It already guarantees a non-zero denominator,
and a judgment with no criteria at all reaches this line — dividing by the
total there would be
0/0. The new test pins that case so the guard can't bedropped later.
passed + failedis exactly the criteria count, so the new denominatorcan't undercount:
JudgeAgentputs every criterion in one of the two buckets(
judge_agent.py:1344-1352— a criterion passes only on an explicit"true",everything else is a failure).
passed=agent_response.successis untouched and stays correct.Test plan
test_evaluation_score_is_fraction_of_criteria_passedinpython/tests/test_scenario_executor.py. It captures the score bymonkeypatchingLangWatchSpan.add_evaluation, so no network call.1.0 / 0.75 / 0.5 / 0.0; thecollision directly (half-failing must not score the same as flawless); and
the zero-criteria judgment, which is what keeps the guard necessary.

No playable artifact — this is a metric on the evaluation span. The observable
proof is the captured score itself, before and after, for the same judgments:
The
aftercolumn is exactly what the new test asserts. Thebeforecolumn iswhat those same assertions produce when the fix is reverted — the two bold cells
are the bug: a 3-of-4 verdict scoring 3.0, and a half-failing verdict scoring a
perfect 1.0.
Anything surprising?
